Here is a list of resources I used in making the fursuit.
Tutorials and patterns:
initial head model (free PDF) – https://www.deviantart.com/mochadragonstudio/art/Foam-Horse-Base-FREE-PATTERN-INSTRUCTIONS-929055494 however, I put it aside after finishing it and decided to buy a 3D printer and print a purchased 3D model that would look better (see reference below)
purchased 3D .stl head model https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/pony-fursuit-head-base-mlp
purchased pattern for making digitigrade hooves https://mugiwara-cosplay.sellfy.store/p/digital-digitigrade-fursuit-feet-paws-pattern-for-fursuits-pdf-download-iu54mt/ The original hoof pattern was modified during production. Due to the use of thicker foam, it was necessary to create a new pattern for the fur.

These tutorials helped me understand the principle of how mechanical wings work. The design used in the Lumirainyx project was designed independently and adapted to the requirements of a mechanically winged alicorn.
